Tasting Notes
Aroma
The nose is intense, with notes of ripe red berries and fine spices.
Maturation
32 Months in barriques and large wood barrels.
Appearance
Intense ruby red colour.
Palate
On the palate, it is full-bodied with fruity (strawberry, plum,
cherry) and citrusy notes. The tannins are simultaneously
fine and imposing, supporting the wine's enveloping and
persistent structure. Every ounce of the harmony and
complexity of this cru - one of the Barolo region’s most
specia - stands out. The finish reveals balsamic notes that
further enliven this wine, whose elegance and balance are
rare indeed.
Vinification
Grapes harvested by hand on 12 October
2019. After gentle pressing, the juice fermented for around 3
weeks in a steel tank, in contact with the skins. This period
included pre- and post-ferment maceration, involving the
traditional submerged-cap method. Malolactic fermentation
took place in wood.
Range Notes
The grapes come from the historic “Cerequio” vineyard:
one of the most significant MGAs in the entire Barolo
winegrowing region. Our plot is located in the municipality
of Barolo. Situated around 320 m asl, it has a southern
exposure and a density of around 4600 plants per hectare
over an area spanning almost one hectare. The average
age of the vines is around 36 years. Limestone- and
clay-rich soil with Marls of Saint Agatha present.
Vintage Notes
The 2018 vintage was the first iteration of this momentous Vietti cru.
Food Matching
Red meat, lobster, game, pot roast, and mature cheeses.
